Money & relationship question
I met a girl 4 months ago who is torn between going back to her home country Brazil with the language skills she has acquired here and having a good job there, versus persuing a life here by taking a two-year course that would yield less certain financial returns despite a better lifestyle. I feel great with her in every way, but her priority is getting her sh*t together. She is currently perfecting her english in school and working at a lame job to make money. I have my sh*t together and it sucks not having the time I want with her, due to her current studies and work, but I really want her to stay. I offered to give her some money for the two-year course (about ¼ of the tuition) so that she can stay here and that we could be together. It would not bust the bank for me, but it is quite a bit. My question is just about giving money – I’ve never offerred this before to any other girl. She told me she would think about it – whether to accept or not - she's always wanted to make it on her own. Anyways, if we split I'd be OK with it because I'd feel good that I helped her. There's also the question about feelings. We have told each other that we love one another, but it was said pretty early into the relationship. We recently had a couple of petty little arguments, and I have a feeling that she might be questioning the love. I know this is a bigger issue for me to deal with. But I'm asking about the money - it kind of feels like a big deal but is it? Is it being tooo nice? I wonder if she feels like she’s got me wrapped around her little finger. Would do ya’ll think?
